Alice

A cacophony of shadows, and all I feel is fear

Pain that suffocates the air

Screeching that rakes the ears

Stretched faces, crying in despair

Throwing away lumps of flesh

Feet pushing through bloody mesh

My, today was a quite a mess~

Blind, dyed eyes flashed crimson

A pair of bound humans

Why, is that another victim?

Challenge
Write about ADD/ADHD/ the world of constant distraction and the difficulties presented in your experience.

Brother

Running ahead of my family

Bouncing around in glee.

Ice cream? Ooh mother may I have some?

Sprinting back to her full speed, knocking down a few.

Oh wait she’s talking to someone else...

Ice cream...ice cream...ice cream...ice cr- [name]? Time to go.

Okay!

Oh wait I had something to tell you.

What was it again?

Ow...my head hurts...but I want to remember...

Oh no! Mother’s leaving.

Quickly dashing back after his family.

Mother look! A pretty rock!

Stopping to grab something off the streets, bouncing back up narrowly missing a truck honking like there was no tomorrow.

______________________________________________________________

Leaping onto the bed laughing

Pretending to swim in the sheets.

Oh wait!

Mother, I remember now.

‘What is it?’

Oh wait...I forgot it again...

Goodnight mother!

Drifting off into sleep...

Ooh mother!

Sprinting into his parents room

Jumping on their bed.

Can we get ice cream the next time we go?

Pretty pretty please?

Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaase

Eh?

We already have it?

Oopsies, my bad hehe...

Running off back to his room.

Puppet.

Matted red stained hair

An innocent gaze

A broken puppet wanders the halls of the mansion

A mischievous spirit haunting it.

Are those footsteps?

Walking closer with a sinister grin

Laughter echoed by the walls.

Tap tap tap.

Boo!

You have a pretty face~

Why is it so scared?

Aw...don’t be that way!

Or I’ll carve a smile into that one as well~

No no!

Don’t leave

I’ll be all lonely

Stop running away

Or I’ll make you part of my collection too~

Yes~

Come play with me

You have to go?

So soon!

I can’t have you leaving yet...

Ah!

I have an idea!

Come~

This way we can keep playing together forever!

A lonely puppet wanders the halls

Picking off humans one by one

Slowly adding them to its collection.

Come!

You shall be my new playmate

And my new victim~
